I really don't like watching tv or movies on my computer, never have and I know I never will. I will watch the occassional youtube video or something, but that's different, cause they're a few minutes long.

[Soapsuds]

YOu have to remember not everyone who watches these two shows has access to internet. So I am sure they will get a good ending.

These shows have been a mess for years and years...if this does end badly, then at least we know there was one last attempt. It would be one thing if this were Gordon Russell-era OLTL or the best of Rauch/O'Shea or Gottlieb/Malone/Griffith, or Agnes and Washam at AMC, but they're both, in a lot of ways, limping to the end. At worst, it's just a final goodbye, a failed experiment. At best it could revolutionize the format and the shows.

I think both shows could lose a lot of their cast and be fine.

I'm more concerned about the writing and casting for them when they hit the web. If this is ANOTHER "we'll make it up as we go along" production then they may as well not bother.

[dragonflies]

True, but not everyone thinks of that

So this is a licensing deal, that ABC will still retain ownership if it tanks by PP? Pretty smart of them. We might still get ABC interference

Another thing, this could still fall through, what if PP can't get the backers they need for this?

[Soapsuds]

Very true.

Even if the shows bomb I think the shows could add a bit of legitimacy to web soaps.

I would love that. Sort of how Port Charles did their arcs too.

[Soapsuds]

So who is actually going to pay to see JPL awful acting on OLTL online??

[marceline]

Lawd child, do you just wander around graveyards looking for funerals to join? You're making even me look like the good cop. Let's get through September first then we can audit PP's finances.

[alexisfan07]

Extremely important and good questions

[DRW50]

Rumor has it he's going to GH. Cross your fingers.

[dragonflies]

LOL I keep it real, can't help it. I won't count my chickens before they're hatched. I just don't want to see this fall through and people get all pissy about it.

I'm actually usually a positive person

[alexisfan07]

The Rex character is kind of played out as it is, anyway. If we keep our vets and keep the less annoying newbies for a new generation (i.e. AMC's Maya and OLTL's...Bueller?), they could ditch the middle slew who are sort of vets but who aren't universally liked or even talented.

In your spare time do you volunteer to tell kids that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny don't exist or kick stray dogs?
